In the story of the stolen wealth, how was Baba able to recover his thirty thousand rupees?

According to the story in Chapter 36, after fifteen days of grieving the loss of his money, Baba was wandering on the street when a Fakir appeared. After hearing Baba's story, the Fakir gave him specific instructions for recovering the wealth. He told Baba about another Fakir, gave him the address, and instructed him to go and surrender to him. To ensure success, the first Fakir gave him a vow to practice: "renounce your favorite food item. By that, your purpose will be achieved." Baba confirmed that by following this advice precisely, he met the other Fakir and successfully got his money back.
